Are you taking anything?

in TTC After a Loss

Hi Ladies,

 

First time on this particular board. Just a little history. I miscarried on 4/26 at 7 weeks. According to the doctor there is no medical reason that I can't and shouldn't be able to have a healthy pregnancy.

 

I have been doing some reading and I know that some herbs and vitamins help in readying your body and reproductive system for pregnancy. have you guys been taking anything or heard of things? I am not trying to do fertility drugs, just natural things that strenghthen your body.

 

I already take my prenatal, b12 as well as folic acid every day.

    This is a link to the TTCAL Facts and Questions.  Lots of good information there about suppliments, etc.  I'm sorry for your loss and welcome to the board.

    I take those, along with fish oil and B6 every day as well as a baby aspirin. I was found to have MTHFR which is a clotting disorder, so the extra supplements and aspirin are for that.

    Also, I have been seeing a Chinese medicine doctor and acupuncturist since my first m/c. A friend of mine who had 5 m/c's told me to read this book after my first m/c, as it worked miracles for her (she went on to have 2 healthy kids after reading this ? I got the book at my library):

    https://www.amazon.com/Infertility-Cure-Ancient-Wellness-Pregnant/dp/0316159212/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1273169900&sr=8-1

    (Read some of the reviews too, many people were told they had no hope before trying this.)

    The book was so convincing that I found an acupuncturist/Chinese medicine practitioner in my area, and was treated for some issues that I was able to identify by reading the book. Even to this day I am taking some Chinese herbs and doing acupuncture, and they have really "fixed up" my cycle -- it is much more regular and my AFs went from very scant to a healthy amount each time. I got PG the first month of TTC after starting this, unfortunately I lost her to my MTHFR disorder which I have now fixed and we just started TTC again with the Chinese doc's help. I really believe this made all the difference for me.
